- Barron's argues upcoming inflation data will be the real test for the current AI-led stock rally.
- US stock futures diverged ahead of the data — Yahoo Finance reported Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq futures little changed, while Bloomberg noted a drop as focus turned to chipmaker earnings and inflation.
Why it matters: If inflation prints hot, the Fed's rate path becomes the swing factor for AI and growth multiples, and with chipmaker earnings landing in the same window, the market gets two reality checks in one week.
